CHICAGO, May 25th.-[SpeciaIl l-Messina
and other foreign oranges on the market
are getting scarce, and there are but few
more coming. In consequence of this the
California fruit is assuming firmer tone,
and it is thought prices will advance to
some extent.
California lemons are slow and sell for
81 90 per box, while other varieties sell for
from 81 to 81 80 higher per box, on account
OF their better quality.
California apricots were put on the mar
ket here for the first time on Monday, at
prices ranging from So toS3 so a box to
start on, and now they sell lower, at 81 90
9s3 per twenty pound box.
Cherries are in fair supply, with linn
tied demand. Sales are slow, especially OF
ordinary stock, and those on the market
are rather common. The California va
riety of that fruit is quite plentiful, and
prices are easy. Ten-pound boxes of black
Tartarians are: sold at S2@$2 so per box
and white sweet at 50 50@$3. Some in
poor order ranged down to 81 "a 81 %.

down to the inevitable, and though now
